Your failing to see that if infact the game is doing poorly they will do ANYTHING to keep making money they are a company after and their primary function is to make money
So in other words........... play to grind. Yes, great way to get players to start playing again. Offer a prize for people to grind for 2 weeks. OR maybe add new content and get players back to enjoying the game.
Actually, the official rules say that it's an artist's rendering of the winner's likeness (from a photograph that you have to provide), but the press release says it's your character's likeness (so apparently you have to take a picture of your character select screen or something, because whatever). That's where the confusion is coming from.
Of course, in the end, what does it matter? Guess if they're restricting it to characters only it means no fatties? *shrug*
As per the norm, this just makes Trion's Defiance team look like a chicken running around with its head cut off. A lack of management or a lack of effective management.
Lol......... sorry I wont grind, but I will keep playing.
While that does sound like a good way to win there's no chance that I'm going to stay logged off for two weeks.
The game is too much fun to stay offline for that long. Sure there are a few bugs but nothing stopping me from progressing. I'm currently at 3,364ego and loving it. And the way we get new missions with the show is great too. Seeing those electric monarchs last night for the first time brought a smile I my face. I look forward to future content.
I may not have won the hellbug plushie or get to be on the TV show but I'm sure having fun and that's the main thing.
